...‘The Internet- a curse, not a blessing.’
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the invention of the Internet is one of man’s greatest and most spectacular endeavours. For, it has truly revolutionalized the world in regards to how we engage in business, recreate, socialize, educate ourselves and communicate with each other. The Internet eliminated all impediments of conventional methods of operations. Through its construction, the world economies have flourished. Therefore, it can be said in a nut shell, that the Internet has made life on earth ‘easy’ to say the least; but to what expense?
Through studying history, we all know that not everything that was created to make our lives easier has concluded with the improvement of society. In fact, a great number of man’s inventions have contributed to the destruction of our planet. Benjamin Franklyn once said that “man is a tool-making animal,” accordingly, often we have observed the destruction of the world due to man’s ‘well-intended’ inventions. With such inventions as the automobile, train and aeroplane, the ozone layer is now threatened. Through man’s desire to produce a better fruit and to expand his farm resources, insecticides now kill and destroy the earth’s plant and animal life. And through man’s desire to have more space in order to progress and to live, deforestation has changed the oxygen cycle, resulting in there being...

Is the internet a Blessing or Curse for the Millennial Generation?
By: Olamide Basorun
Internet has been, perhaps, the most outstanding innovation in the field of communication in the history of mankind. As with every single innovation, the internet has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, I believe that there is a greater magnitude of advantages and these undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages. During his evolutionary journey from Neanderthal to Homo erectus and then to Homo sapiens, man has come a long way. Because of his continuous quest for more and more amenities and facilities, he has been able to invent many new things. The nineties have seen a major turn around with the invention of computers. Until, a few years back, the term Internet was practically synonymous to most of the people. But today, the Internet has become the most powerful communication tool for people throughout the world. With the advent of Internet, our earth has virtually reduced and has attained the form of a global village.
The Internet has now become the best business tool in the modern scenario. Today, it has brought the world in one single room. Right from getting news across the corner of the world to accessing knowledge resources to shopping, everything is at your fingertips. The Internet has...

... Argumentative Essay
Title: A curse or a blessing
A curse or a blessing
Final Draft
Today life is not what it was a few decades ago. Everything is evolving around us, including ourselves. We no longer resemble the people of the past; we are people of a different identity. Speaking of identity, many things in this century have influenced it; for instance, technology which has been evolving and still is to this very second. It may seem ridiculous, but technology is the oxygen of the 21st century. It has been a curse that our ancestors were fortunate not to catch and we were damned with it for eternity.
Many may argue that technology has improved our means of connection and communication. Truly before technology, we were connected in a rather primitive way. Sending a letter or even a “telegraph” to a dear person might have taken weeks or even months to reach if we were back in the past. Although, it may seem extreme today waiting for that long time to get a message from a loved one, I find it rather amusing, even exciting. Our relationships were stronger and more stable back then. We no longer communicate naturally. Human interaction seems like a very cumbersome job to do. We no longer actually meet up like before with friends and family, and if we do we are always busy with our smartphones, ipads,etc. According to an article published by...

...‘The internet is a curse on modern society’ to what extent do you agree with this view?
From the mid 1990s when Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web and the Internet grew dramatically, it has progressively dominated our lives. The vast volume of information that is now available to us and the ease at which our ideas and documents can be shared, has transformed the way in which we find material and communicate. It has also had a huge impact on business, particularly retail. However, these huge changes inevitably bring with them some negative consequences, particularly those to do with illegal file sharing and risks to privacy.
The Internet is capable of many things but undoubtedly its main purpose is to provide the world with unlimited information. Rather than look something up in a book, today many people just ‘Google’ it, a phrase that was coined because of the dominance of Google as the world’s leading search engine. The vast amount of material on the Internet has helped people expand their knowledge and has also enabled anyone to post their opinions to the world via sites such as Blogger. Due to the sheer quantity of information we are now all spoilt for choice. What goes in a playlist when all the music ever recorded is one click away? How do you choose a book from the millions that you can discover with a Google Books search? Not only is it all difficult to choose from, we also have...

...Art and Internet: Blessing the Curse?∗
Patrick Legros ECARES, Université Libre de Bruxelles and CEPR February 1, 2005
“Beauty, however, in its general aspect, is the inseparable characteristic of the idea when it has become known. In other words, everything is beautiful in which an idea is revealed; for to be beautiful means no more than clearly to express an idea.” — Schopenhauer (2004-eBook edition) “In the last analysis, the artist may shout from all the rooftops that he is a genius: he will have to wait for the verdict of the spectator in order that his declarations take a social value and that, ﬁnally, posterity includes him in the primers of Artist History.” — Marcel Duchamp (1966)
1. Introduction
At the time photography was invented, the technology was expensive, diﬃcult to use and required specialized skills and craftsmanship. Because many painters at the time were doing portraits, they saw the danger of the new technology for their activity. The folk history credits the painter Paul Delaroche to have said after seeing the Daguerreotype “from today, painting is dead”.1 Other artists embraced the opportunity to use the new medium and indeed, a movement developed quickly that deﬁned photography as art.

...Over the course of human civilization, there have been many prominent advances in the field of science. However, as explored by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, is there ever a point or line when new discoveries made by science are not a blessing anymore, but a curse? Frankenstein is a novel about a brilliant young scientist named Frankenstein who discovers the ultimate secret: how to infuse life into a dead body. But his attempt at thwarting nature causes massive destruction as the monster he creates kills humans as an act of revenge towards Frankenstein. This raises a huge question. What are the obligations a scientist has towards mankind while endeavouring towards an unknown land? Although science can cause great and powerful advances for human society, it can also cause widespread destruction. On the other hand, science must not be limited to what is already in our grasp. Thus, as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein elucidates, scientific discovery must be made with the moral obligation to society in mind, but cannot be limited by the moral obligation towards society. Although this seems to create a paradox, the creation of many modern objects such as computers were created through a process which intertwined both venturing into unknown territory and taking into account possible risks and consequences.
From vaccines to robots, scientists have been a huge part in shaping the culture of humanity. Yet as shown in Frankenstein,...

ABSTRACT:
For many years, cables ruled the world. Optical fibers played a dominant role because of its higher bit rates and faster transmission. But the installation of cables caused a greater difficulty and thus led to wireless access. The foremost of this is Bluetooth, which can cover 9-10metres. Wi-Fi followed it having coverage area of 91metres. No doubt, introduction of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) has brought a revolutionary solution to “last mile” problem. However, the standard's original limitations for data exchange rate and range, number of channels, high cost of the infrastructure have not yet made it possible for Wi-Fi to become a total threat to cellular networks on one hand, and hard-wire networks, on the other. But the man’s continuous quest for even better technology despite the substantial advantages of present technologies led to the introduction of new, more up-to-date standards for data exchange rate i.e., Gi-Fi .It will help to push wireless communications to faster drive.
Gi-Fi or Gigabit Wireless is the world's first transceiver integrated on a single chip that operates at 60GHz on the CMOS process. It will allow wireless transfer of audio and video data up to 5 Gigabits per second, ten times the current maximum wireless transfer rate at one-tenth of the cost,...
